▲ 96 ▼ Do you feel that use of generative AI and LLMs is ever justifiable? If so, when and where? If not, why not?

Get a high school textbook in literally any subject (except possibly math) from the 1970s. You'll be amazed at how much of it is oversimplified or politicized or just plain wrong. I do agree that AI has compounded the problem. There's a limit to how much inaccuracy/incompetence a given system can tolerate. An organization that relies on AI for critical processes better have a way to monitor and intervene. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] fork@feddit.online 2 points 5 months ago* [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] thinkercharmercoderfarmer@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 child) That's not really new, or unique to AI. The whole "field" of eugenics was created to give racism the mantle of scientific legitimacy. People will pick through a haystack of data to find a needle that supports (however tenuously) whatever they want to be true. LLMs are just a more convenient way to find or invent those needles. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago The difference now is the machine can churn out way more data (e.g. pull requests) than a human can ever deal with. permalink fedilink source parent
